Christmas magic is silent.

You don’t hear it — you feel it.

You know it. You believe it.

No Christmas Road Trip This Year   Leave a comment

On The Road, Christmas Past (December 24, 2012) — Image by kenne

Last Christmas was only the second
time we celebrated the Holidays
in Tucson after ten years here.

We usually spend the Holidays
with family and friends in Houston.
For the second year in a row, there

will be no Christmas road trip,
marking the third time in eleven years.
The decision not to go ti Houston

was made harder with Kate and family
having made the big move to Houston
after four years in New Hampshure.

. . . maybe next Christmas.

Christmas Through The Looking Glass   1 comment

Photo-Artistry by kenne

An image created
from a reflection;

therefore,
it’s an illusion.

One might say it’s
symbolic of Christmas.

Of course, one might say
that’s true of life —

the opposite of
what is expected.

Holiday Season Flashback #1   Leave a comment

Chase's 1st Christmas-72.jpgChase Morris, December 24, 2004 — Image by kenne

“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.

Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.

Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…

Anything can happen, child.

Anything can be.”

― Shel Silverstein

Maker's Mark Still Life-Edit-1-blogChristmas 2018 Bartop Still Life — Photo-Artistry by kenne

We have lived at Tanuri Ridge
These eight Christmas years.
No Christmas trees over the years,
Instead, we add Holiday touches
To art, plants, whiskey bottles —
Our world exceeds stillness.

Which One Is The Real James   1 comment

 

 

 

 

James is a challenge to photograph — Images by kenne

The quiet of Christmas morning,
everyone is still asleep as the sun
comes through the front windows

where the traveling bonsai trees,
Fica and Camellia, cast their shadows
on the table under the windows.

The smell of fresh coffee brewing
made special this morning, having
mixed in mocha with the Pike Place.

Later, the dogs enter the kitchen
having concluded their mistress
isn’t getting up to let them out.

Checking the Weather Channel App
having added towns where
family and friends live

from coast to coast,
Kate in the Northeast
and Lisa in the Northwest

are experiencing
the white Christmas
others can only dream.

Christmas 2012Christmas Full Moon, December 2012 — Image by kenne

I’m posting this image from 2012 because this year there’s not going to be a Christmas full moon.
This year the December full moon was on the 3rd and January 2018 will have two full moons.

December full moon
Appeared early in the month
Now no Christmas moon —

Boomer!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL   5 comments

Jaxon's Xmas Tree CARDArtwork by Kenne Jaxon Bailey (December 2017)

For many years I have used Photoshop to create electronic Christmas cards.
This year I am collaborating with our five-year-old kindergarten grandson, Jaxon.
Maybe I’ve started a tradition!

In the paper
in the scissors
in the lines
in the colors
in the string of lights
in the wonder of his eyes —
JAXON —
in the star.

Balance Cactus (1 of 1) art blogBalancing Cactus — Image by kenne

This year we celebrated Christmas with family in Houston and my favorite gift was “Balancing Cactus”. OK, so it’s not a saguaro, but it’s a lot of fun to play with — for children 3 and older.
